The talented teenager started Tuesday night's international friendly against England alongside Tigres forward Andre-Pierre Gignac, but was forced off the pitch after 67 minutes.

Roy Hodgson’s men emerged as 2-0 victors, courtesy of goals from Dele Alli and Wayne Rooney, but the sight of Martial leaving Wembley on crutches sparked fears that he could be set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

The 19-year-old has impressed since joining the Red Devils from Monaco over the summer in a deal which could rise to a staggering £58 million - according to the Daily Mail - scoring five goals in 14 appearances while also being named Premier League Player of the Month for September.

The last thing Louis van Gaal needs is an important first-team player missing ahead of a heavy run of fixtures, but Deschamps has allayed fears by claiming that Martial’s injury is not as serious as first thought.
